This procedure is carried out by professionals who I believe will tell the patient the attendant risk and follow due process. I don't think there is surgery where someone is guaranteed a 100% chance of success. There is no ideal situation, but I still think laser surgery is safer than most other surgical methods. >All surgery carries some risk of complications (a complication is defined as an unexpected occurrence). In laser eye surgery, complications are very rare, and advances in technology and surgical expertise mean that almost all complications can now be corrected. In fact, the chance of an expert being faced with a situation of marked permanently reduced vision or quality of vision that he or she could not correct satisfactorily is about 1 in 30,000 [London Vision Clinic Pg. 31](https://www.londonvisionclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/LoVC-Laser-Eye-Surgery-Guide.pdf). I think I can take a 1 in 30,000 or 99.9966% chance of success. Good article :)

That's for such an objective view sir. >This procedure is carried out by professionals who I believe will tell the patient the attendant risk and follow due process Not all of them do this these days. People seem to be interested in money than they are in other people well being. The story of my relative is a case study. I myself have been sick before to such a extent that I had to travel to India to seek a more advanced treatment. I know my experience. And I can tell it's not all that palatable. Appreciate your visit. Regards
